Chapter 001 has been battered by society

Yang Kang had invited Yang Heng several times to join his shop, promising that the salary would be several times higher than it is now

Yang Kang calmed Yang Heng down before expressing his thoughts to him.

As long as Yang Heng is listed here, a degree certificate can be issued immediately, and there will also be a formal salary to receive

It is best to have a job with no pressure, where one will not be dismissed, earns a considerable amount, and has flexible hours. If possible, it would be even better if housing could be provided as well

Yang Heng squatted on the curb in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau for more than half an hour, and he still does not know where to go now

Moreover, with Yang Heng being another honest person, it is only natural that he would be the first to face such a situation

Yang Heng picked up his phone and saw it was the workshop director from the factory. "Hello, Director Wang, is there something you need?"

He held a bottle of wine in one hand and embraced his buddy with the other, beginning to complain incessantly about his misfortunes

When Yang Heng hurriedly returned to the factory and saw Director Wang, this workshop director, who usually appeared quite amiable, doused him with a bucket of cold water right away

I can tell you that I put in a great deal of effort and pleaded with my uncle for a long time before he finally arranged this job for you

After graduating from university, finding a job still relied on my parents, and in the end, I married a wife whom my parents arranged for me through a blind date

Where are you now

However, although Yang Heng is an honest person, he is quite concerned about his reputation and simply cannot bring himself to bow down and submit to his brother.

Just as Yang Heng was wallowing in self-pity, a clear and crisp phone ring sounded

Now, this man in his thirties is standing alone by the roadside, smoking a cigarette, with a face full of sorrow

It turns out that this Sanqing Temple has a history of nearly 1,000 years and is one of the few remaining Taoist temples in this city

However, the decoration is very good, and the furniture is also complete

Yang Heng leaned against the back of the bed, massaging his temples, pondering whether he had said something wrong yesterday

Compared to Li Juan, Yang Heng indeed falls somewhat short of being presentable

It is evident how influential this gentleman is.

Since their daughter Yang Fang began to grow up gradually, the parenting experiences of the wife and the mother have come into intense conflict

What unit is it? How much is the salary?

Yang Heng did not engage with him; he simply sat at the head of the bed, his face full of gloom

Yang Heng let out a long sigh upon hearing this, thinking that with Yang Kang going to plead for him, he would likely endure less nagging when he returned home.

After having breakfast, Yang Kang took Yang Heng to his residence on Jiefang Road

Ultimately, it had to come to a conclusion of divorce

In the end, the marital relationship between Li Juan and Yang Heng deteriorated further

Where is this job? I won't run my business anymore, I'll just go sign up directly

After the two individuals met, Yang Heng began to drown his sorrows in alcohol

In the eyes of the average person, Yang Heng is simply a mama's boy, unable to accomplish anything without his mother's assistance

Yang Heng found himself caught between his wife and mother, feeling somewhat like a person who belongs to neither side

Have you sobered up? If so, you should eat something. You were quite impressive yesterday, you drank a whole bottle of alcohol and didn't eat a single bite of food

As the saying goes, even Qin Hui had three friends; let alone Yang Heng, who, despite being honest, is someone many are willing to associate with due to his sincerity. After all, such a person will not scheme behind your back

What multiple of Yang Heng's salary is Li Juan's salary now

Suddenly, the hotel room door was opened, and Yang Kang walked in from outside, holding a pile of breakfast, which he casually tossed onto the table

Yang Heng now feels a bit embarrassed and offers a apologetic smile to Yang Kang

Did I make any requests?

Yang Kang hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and spoke up

Yang Heng sat there sullenly and replied, "I just lost my job."

Yang Heng does not even need to buy bedding and can move in directly

This Yang Kang has now opened a folk customs shop, and many temples and Taoist monasteries around the city source their goods from him

The most important thing is that working here is very relaxed, and there is no business pressure. As long as there are no major issues, no one will dismiss you.

Thus, Yang Heng hid in Yang Kang's house for several days

Yang Heng found Yang Kang's words to be quite vivid and detailed, and he felt a spark of hope in his heart. Could it be that such a good job really exists?

One evening, Yang Kang, filled with excitement, came to find Yang Heng, carrying a pile of cooked food.

Yang Heng took a cigarette and thought seriously for a moment

This is a property used by Yang Kang for investment purposes. The house is not large, measuring only 50 square meters, and consists of one bedroom.

This time, the director's attitude was rather impolite, which left Yang Heng feeling quite anxious and unsettled

It turns out that the factory's performance is poor, and the higher-ups are starting to streamline personnel. The first wave of those affected by the streamlining includes individuals like Yang Heng, who are neither here nor there.

If parents knew that their child had unilaterally divorced, they could scold themselves for an entire day and night

Yang Heng has just walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau

Yang Heng was somewhat surprised; he had merely spoken his mind, but could it be that Yang Kang really used this standard to find a job for himself

Therefore, this good deed was declined

However, Li Juan is a very cheerful person, and she handles tasks with great efficiency. In just a few years, she has been promoted from a hotel attendant to the lobby manager.

This is not about his work at the civil affairs bureau, but rather that he has just completed the divorce procedures with his wife

In the end, Yang Kang scratched his head and said, "Isn't it just being dismissed? It's not a big deal. What kind of job do you want to find? I can help you look for one, and I guarantee it will be better than the current one"

After Director Wang finished this sentence, he immediately hung up the phone

Upon hearing this, Yang Heng immediately objected, "What kind of work is this? Are you asking me to become a Taoist priest? Others may not know, but you do. I have elderly parents and young children to support. If I become a Taoist priest, what will happen to my family?"

When Yang Heng came out of the factory, he felt as if he had lost all hope.

Isn't it being evasive? Didn't you say last time that you wanted a job with no pressure, where you wouldn't be dismissed, that pays well, offers flexible hours, and provides housing?

The elementary school was arranged by my parents, the middle school and high school were also arranged by my parents, and when it came time to choose a major in university, it was still arranged by my parents

What can Yang Kang do? As a good buddy, he can only stay with him until Yang Heng is so drunk that he loses consciousness. Only then does Yang Kang help Yang Heng into the car, and afterwards, he books a room at a nearby hotel, throwing Yang Heng onto the bed before leaving.

He is not like Yang Heng; Yang Kang is now a boss in his own right, with many matters to attend to.

Alright, do not dwell on those useless thoughts. As for work matters, I will take them to heart. Stay at home for the next couple of days and wait for my news

Yang Heng thought for a moment and then said, "Can you let me stay at your place for a few days?"

I am at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau! Please speak if you have something to say

There are some matters that the leader wants me to discuss with you, please return to the factory as soon as possible

However, the conflict between the couple arose after they had a child

After Yang Kang had settled Yang Heng, he left in a hurry

Do not be anxious, let me explain it to you in detail

To be honest, Yang Heng is feeling quite troubled at the moment and does not want to go home to listen to his mother's nagging. He simply called home to inform them and then went to a friend's place to drink away his sorrows

Yang Kang walked over to Yang Heng, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "A true man, what is there to worry about without a wife? Moreover, while love may not go well, one can still succeed in their career. Who knows, you might soon be promoted and become wealthy."

Usually, Yang Heng does not speak much, but after drinking, he cannot control his tongue

Alright, there is no point in sighing on the curb anymore, let's hurry back to the factory

When it comes to Yang Kang, he is certainly doing much better than our protagonist Yang Heng. In the second-tier city of T City, he can be considered a person of some achievement.

After getting married, the wife, Li Juan, was initially able to endure it. After all, no matter what shortcomings her husband had, he was still an honest man who understood the value of hard work and diligence

This is truly a case of love not going well, and a career also in ruins

Now, Yang Heng thought carefully; if he truly had the ability to buy a house outside, separating Li Juan from his parents, and creating a certain distance between both parties, perhaps the situation would not have escalated to this extent

Yang Kang heard his good friend inviting him for drinks over the phone, without saying a word, he put down what he was doing and went straight to the small restaurant where they often gathered

The next day, when Yang Heng woke up, he felt as if his head was about to explode. He could not remember at all what he had said the day before, nor did he know how he ended up lying on the hotel bed

Isn't that so? Isn't there a Sanqing Temple in the suburbs? I have arranged a position for you there

Yang Kang was left speechless for a long time by a remark from Yang Heng

Upon meeting, Yang Kang exclaimed with great excitement: "I have found the job you wanted, and it completely meets the requirements you specified last time."

Due to economic reasons, Yang Heng and Li Juan have been living with their parents since their marriage.

Yang Kang paused for a moment and then said, "Don't worry about your parents. I will go over today and say a few good words in front of the two elders."

No problem, I happen to have a vacant room. You can stay there for a few days, consider it as showing me the house.

As for Yang Heng, he has been considered a well-behaved child from a young age. Since elementary school, it seems that his life has been predetermined by his parents.

Because of this, before their divorce, Li Juan and Yang Heng had several arguments.

Originally, Yang Heng wanted custody of his daughter, but he was silenced by Li Juan's remark, "With that little money of yours, you can't even support yourself, let alone raise a daughter?" He no longer brought up the matter.

Yang Kang quickly understood Yang Heng's thoughts; it was the fear of returning home and being unable to explain to his parents

It is precisely because of this name that Yang Kang has faced ridicule from childhood to adulthood, and only Yang Heng, being honest, was willing to associate with him. This association has lasted for nearly thirty years, and the two have become even closer than biological brothers.

Yang Kang was almost so enraged by these words that he nearly lost his breath

Yang Heng's close friend is Yang Kang, who grew up together with him in the large courtyard

Although Li Juan is merely a high school graduate, her educational background is significantly inferior to that of Yang Heng

Yang Heng sat there and thought for a moment, feeling that this was indeed a way out. Compared to struggling in society and being battered and bruised by it, going to a temple to become a fake Taoist priest was also a good choice
